Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to invite the Sudan Call opposition alliance to visit the UK to discuss the peace process; whether UK engagement with opposition forces in Sudan is limited to those parties based in Khartoum; and what is their level of structured discussion with Sudan Call in comparison to that held with the government of Sudan.
The British Government has no plans to invite the Sudan Call alliance to visit the UK. We have continued to promote and encourage conflict resolution and dialogue through our role in the Troika, engaging regularly with both the government of Sudan and with opposition groups from across the country.
We continue to give financial and political support to the African Union High Level Implementation Plan to mediate ongoing peace talks, and welcomed the signing of the Roadmap Agreement by the Government of Sudan and the Sudan Call alliance. Most recently, the UK Special Representative to Sudan, with his Troika counterparts, met with representatives of Sudan Call during a visit to Khartoum on 7 to 8 November.
